First, and as imperative to your success as anything you discover here, is plainly comprehending how eBay shoppers find things to splurge their cash on.

No matter what type of bargain hunter they are, no matter where they come from, they all use the same tool to find auction adverts;

They use the search bar to type in all-purpose terms. Very seldom do buyers click on the "Search Title and Description" and start browsing the more specific results. You see; the isn't even an alternative on the front page of eBay, you actually have to do an "Advanced Search" to even have the option. This just confirms the importance of your title keywords.

Some people do browse categories rather than search, but we're largely concerned with general majorities here, not exceptions to the rule.

In case you're unaware, this means that most searchers are ONLY CHECKING YOUR TITLE, not the words in the description part of your advert!!!

Experience tells me that, since you now know this, you are really way ahead of 70% of the other eBay sellers out there; and that's a very conservative guesstimate.

Now that you have a clear understanding of the importance of your title keywords, here's a priority list for precisely picking the right ones for each of your ads:

Take these rules literally, but understand that each of these will not apply to every ad that you run. You are allowed a maximum of 55 characters for your title so just try your best to fit in as many of them as possible in the limited space.

1. Obvious keywords that are related to the goods you're selling and make sure that they are spelled correctly.

2. One or Two misspellings of the obvious keywords from the last rule. (Google says that 33% of all searches are misspelled). One Third! Don't Forget This Bit.

3. One or Two general eBay keywords such as "nr", "n/r", "no reserve", "free shipping", or "lot". These are keywords that a lot of pro buyers search for.

4. Other general keywords are "new", "free", "excellent", "pc", "usb", "dvd", "wholesale", or "supplies". You can only use ones that are relevant to the goods you're selling, but they are very powerful.

Now, take these rules and create a list on a piece of paper each time you're going to list an ad. Usually the list is way too large to fit into the title. Once your list is done, start narrowing down the list by means of the priority structure that I just gave you until they do fit into the 55 character threshold.

If you have more than one of the thing to sell and intend to list multiple copies of your advert, be sure to take the time to produce different titles for each one. If you don't, and you just use the same title for each copy; you're just wasting money. Multiple versions of the same ad with different titles for each can really increase your number of visitors.
